Remember when Google launched #Go and there was another programming language named Go! whose author asked Google to rename their language, and they basically said “FU?” https://github.com/golang/go/issues/9

I was just looking through the Go brand guidelines, and the FU is spelled out loud and clear. https://go.dev/brand

“We do not want these trademarks to be used to refer to any other programming language.”

Google’s shitty treatment of others is one reason I advocate against using Go.
